Could Aluminum, Barium and Other Substances From Stratospheric Aerosol Geo-Engineering Programs be Destroying Eco-Systems around the World?

A Closer Look.

What would you do if you were told that toxic substances being sprayed into the sky are falling to the ground and decimating eco-systems around the world? This very claim, made by concerned citizens outside the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) meeting last month in San Diego, sparked my interest to investigate further.

The AAAS meeting hosted several top geo-engineering scientists who gathered to discuss the “plausibility” of implementing various geo-engineering programs throughout the world. One of the options addressed was the stratospheric aerosol geo-engineering (SAG) , AKA chemtrail program, where scientists discussed the “plausibility” of spraying aerosol aluminum, barium and other particles into the sky to block the sun as a means to “reduce” the Earth’s temperature. When asked specifically about the potential risks associated with using aluminum in the program as an aerosol, scientists replied by stating that they have not studied much about the risks associated with aluminum and added that something terrible could be found tomorrow that they haven’t looked at. When probed further about the deployment of existing aerosol programs, the scientists stated that no aerosol spraying programs have been deployed to date.

The concerned citizens I met outside the meeting were claiming quite the opposite. They came in protest after witnessing airplanes that they believe are regularly spraying aerosols into the upper-part of the sky. Many from this group have tested and found extremely high levels of aluminum, barium and other substances in their soil, rain, water and snow. Ironically, the substances that they reported finding are the same substances the scientists are “considering” implementing in the various aerosol spraying programs discussed at the meeting. They also believe that these substances are leading to the destruction of eco-systems and are coming from already deployed SAG programs. Due to the severity of this issue and my desire to know the truth, I was led to Shasta County in the Northern part of California to investigate not only the claims of what is being reported in the sky, but also claims of what is in the rain, water, snow and soil from what many residents are saying is the result of SAG programs.

The first stop on this trip led me to Dane Wigington’s beautiful 2000 acre property overlooking Lake Shasta. As we toured his breath-taking land, he pointed to multiple trails that blanketed the sky. He claimed the trails are present on most days above Northern California. Wigington referred to this as a “moderate spraying day”. Like many other residents in Shasta County, Wigington moved to the area to get away from the heavy pollution of Southern California that he grew up with as a child. His dreams of living off the land and becoming one with nature are now coming to a grinding halt as he is focusing his time and energy on the issue of geo-engineering.

Wigington became concerned about SAG when he began to notice dramatic changes in the solar power that he uses to supply his home and property. Owner of one of the largest residential solar systems in Northern California, he began to notice very high declines in solar power. It can be decreased by as much as 60 percent on what he calls “heavy spraying days”. Wigington said, “The trails are literally blocking the sun”. He also went on to say that he regularly samples the fine dust layers on top of his solar panels and other outdoor surface areas and frequently finds very high levels of aluminum and barium. Wigington believes that these are a product of SAG programs.

At the same time as finding decreased solar power, Wigington also began to witness dramatic changes on his property as the trees, grass, insects and wildlife started dying. This led him to get his first rain test just four years ago. The results were shocking as they found aluminum levels at 7 ug/l or 7 parts per billion. Although aluminum can be found around the world in smaller quantities, geo-hydrologists told him that this number was quite high. Since that time, he has had aluminum tests escalate as high as 50,000 percent to 3,400ug/l. That is literally toxic rain. These results prompted him to get additional pH tests from two USDA soil scientists which yielded more shocking results. The pH of the soil was 6.6 in one area and 7.4 in another. This is over 11 times the normal alkalinity of the soil which should be in the range of 5.0 to 5.5. It is important to note the tests were taken in the forest far removed from any highway or industry.

When asked what these changes can do to the ecosystem, Wigington replied by saying that it is devastating. He went on to say, “if this continues, we can only expect to see things get much worse. Not only are we seeing our trees dying here, but also a major decline in our wildlife and fish”. As a matter of fact, Wigington stated that according to The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, the salmon run, once seen in abundance in this area has declined from 769,868 in 2002 to 39,530 in 2009. That is over a 90 percent decline. Amazingly enough, this decline started occurring about the same period of time when residents began to see a dramatic increase in what they believe to be SAG programs. Wigington’s efforts to get these issues and test results addressed has been largely ignored by government agencies and officials.

After a closer look at Wigington’s property, my initial awe of the beauty and breath taking views led to sadness, frustration and anger over the contamination that is literally destroying the eco-system. This led me to investigate further by seeking an expert in biology. I packed up the car and headed north to the breathtaking town of Mt. Shasta. Mt. Shasta has been known for its beauty, clean air and as being the source of water for some bottled water companies. Many travel from around the world to mountain climb and vacation in this beautiful part of Western America.

Francis Mangels, BS in Forestry, Masters in zoology and a retired soil conservationist and wildlife biologist who worked for the U.S. Forest Service for over thirty five years, welcomed me into his beautiful home in the town of Mt. Shasta to discuss the “hidden” crisis that is occurring. Mangels alerted me to the rapid decline of fish in the nearby rivers and streams. Mangels brought me to a nearby creek that had an abundant supply of fish just a few years ago. Because the primary diet of the fish in the creek is aquatic insects, he performed a standard sample method to measure the amount of insects present. The samples he had performed before the alleged aerosol spraying campaign had yielded an average of 1000aquatic insects. Our sample yielded only 31. This is over a 96% decline from samples taken just a few years ago. Mangels stated that because the fish live off of the insects, they are literally starving. This rapid decline is likely due to changes in the chemistry of the water. The only changes that Mangels is aware of are the dramatic increases of aluminum, barium and strontium which he believes is from SAG programs.

We also took time to test the pH of nearby soil and snow which contained over 10 times the alkalinity of the normal pH. Mangels has evidence that this drastic change in pH is also due to the massive increases of aluminum. He stated that forests, fields and farm ecologies thrive in acidic soils. Aluminum acts as a buffer that increases alkalinity and can decimate ecologies in large amounts. Mangels also pointed out that snow on Mt. Shasta was tested and sent to the Environmental Protection Agency (E.P.A.) who found results that contained 61,100 ug/l or parts per billion of aluminum and 83 ug/l of barium. The normal amount of aluminum in the snow at Mt. Shasta is 0.5 ug/l. Drinking water allowable is 50ug/l. That means that the snow on Mt. Shasta has tested at 1200 times more poisonous than water standards allow for aluminum. Mangels said, “Mountain climbers that come from around the world are drinking the poisonous water from the snow on the mountain”. Mangels went on to say that government action is required at just 1000 ug/l of detected aluminum. Although he alerted several government agencies of these findings, no governmental action has been taken to date.

Mengels brought me to several other locations around the town of Mt. Shasta where he tested the soil, rain, water and snow that also yielded tests that revealed the pH to be over ten times the normal alkalinity. He went on to say that these types of changes in soil, water and snow are very uncommon except in other areas around the world where people have been witnessing what many believe to be spraying from SAG programs. Mengels also stated that these changes have produced an “ecological crisis” and will have horrible consequences if continued. Mengels said, “Losses to our economy will be incredible and are on their way as we speak. Tree growth will be decreased which will result in the loss of logging jobs. It is also causing the decline of naturally occurring plant and grass growth that occurs in the normally acidic soils of grazing pastures, resulting in the demise of our grazing industry, fishing industry, and worst of all, basic agriculture in Northern California.”

What is amazing is that these tests and many others throughout the world are largely being ignored by the very governmental entities that are required to address them. Some politicians, like Mt. Shasta City Council member Ed Valenzuela may choose to ignore the issue. Valenzuela was made aware of the mass contamination at a city council meeting where he stated that the city did not want to sample the water for aluminum because the request was a “can of worms” that would, “open a Pandora’s box” that the city would have to pay for. Although several local citizens volunteered to pay the $22.00 cost of the test at an EPA lab, both Republican Committee Chairman Russ Porterfield, and Valenzuela voted no to having the water tested. The mayor Stearns wanted the test, but was overruled by a 3-2 vote. This response is not uncommon as Mengels has presented this issue and his scientific data to over 15 local and federal agencies including Senator Feinstein and Senator Boxer’s office. To date he has received no response or action.

Is it a coincidence that the substances found in the rain, snow and soil in this region and around the world match the exact substances that scientists are “considering” implementing in various geo-engineering campaigns throughout the world? If not, then why have agencies and officials largely ignored these findings that are destroying our planet’s eco-system? Could it be that officials are fearful of exposing a massive cover-up of a world-wide ecological crime? Or is it the belief that this issue is simply too large and too complicated a problem for them to tackle? Whatever the reason for this ignorance, we need to demand that our questions and shocking test results get addressed not only in Shasta County, but in every part of the world. Our future on this planet is dependent on this issue being addressed.

Because this movement has come under attack from those who appear to be protecting the many political and corporate interests associated with SAG, it is essential that all of us around the world get involved by testing the rain, snow, soil and various outdoor surfaces and reporting the results to our elected officials and local environmental agencies. We must also reach out and educate all those involved with SAG who might be unaware of the environmental implications associated with their programs. Testing for pH changes and metals is simple and can be performed almost anywhere at a nominal price.

I have just been reading all the above remarks, and yes sadly it is true, chemtrails and what they contain/made up from is horrific indeed.

We read all about the chemtrails, mainly these are penned from very troubled American writers, and most Americans reading might be under the assumption that it is hapenning only to them.

Unfortunatly, they are wrong, chemtrail spraying has been going on in Australia for a number of years. I have seen the sky change from brillient blue to muck brown poison, some days it is so thick you could get out and walk on it. The majority of the Aussie population live on the eastern seaboard, so the sprayers generally spray in the western regions now, away from prying eyes and let the prevaling winds blow the muck towards the coasts in a long wide band.
Sometimes we see this filth passing overhead for weeks at a time, it never stops except for a couple of days, then it’s on again.

Spider webs.
Have you the reader known about “spider webs” falling out of the sky? Some will know, others won’t, to verify if you have these in your area, do this.

Heed my warning, be very careful, watch out for your eyes.
Grab your binoculars, and go out side, look upwards. Put the sun BEHIND a western roof line, then slowly bring up your binoculars and look through them, Be very mindful and careful, do NOT allow the sun to appear through the binoculars or you will be blinded.

You will be astounded as I was, there was literally millions of “spider webs” careering all over the sky, all in different lengths, anywhere from 6 inches to 40 feet long, the sky was thick with them. You will also see lots of extreamly bright particles floating downwards, some slowly others darting.

I have no instrumentation to collect or examine it, maybe there is some bright chappie who can devise a collection method and test it.

I have never seen a youtube video of this, and it needs to be done by someone with a very large telescopic lens connected to a high quality CCD camera, perhapse there is someone who could do this, I sure hope so.

First I want to thank this website owners and Barbara, your comments are very well spoken and I hope people take notice and pay attention. That said I have watched these sprayings for a long time have been involved with the Freedom movment for a long time and do what I can to wake people up but have found that democrats have no brains at all for sure without a doubt are comminist idiots and a lot of the repulicans act like stupid democrats. This is a serious problem we have with our stupid tax consumming public servants, government emplowyees, they are very ignorant of the Constitution and have little respect for individual rights, of any kind. I just want to say do not give up and Pray, and remember we are In The End Times I can pruve it with Scripture, people do not know what reality is and or what right and wrong is any more, and it will get worse, before it gets better. It is important that we keep the Lords Commandments, and a firm relationship with him, for we are up against a bunch of satan worshipers which I is a FACT and easy to verify! I’m not trying to preach here and do not know what your beliefs are but I learned a couple of years ago that the Bible interpets itself and is very truthfull and acurate, another fact esealy prooven! Without the Holy Spirits help we have not got a chance. I see these chemtrails all the time,I have called and told congressman, and senators and I think most of them are cowards and are scarred to inquire about it or much less do anything about it. Lets just keep demanding it to be stopped and I want to know what they are spraying and NOW is what I tell the brain dead idiots.Pardon my language. For all you none Christians out there all I have to say to you is if the Bible was obeyed and the word spread as it states, the world would be a good place to live and Jesus will come back, so why do you have a problem with that if you are so smart. That would be a GREAT Thing and Event That my friends is another FACT! Take care and keep up the good work it’s not over until the fat guy sings!!!!!!!!!

[…] are bad news. They contain barium and aluminum, which have the potential to destroy ecosystems around the world. But what if this destruction is merely an inevitable and acceptable consequence of a much larger […]

I’m a retired publisher and my hobby is reading. I spend most of my time on liberal web sites like GlobalResearch.ca but I also access mainstream sites. I read everything and end up often on obscure sites such as this one. The truth is everywhere, one only has to read.

Unfortunately most Americans don’t enjoy reading and prefer information sound bytes with which they develop opinions, often opinions that leave them with a severely distorted world view.

I’m too old to protest and too comfortable to do much besides read but I will tell you all, in no uncertain terms, that I am saddened and disturbed for the future of humanity. If someone doesn’t get a grip on things we’re facing unprecedented disaster. From a plethora of food additives, deadly vaccines and chemical environmental pollution and war we are in the midst of destroying our societies. That would be readily apparent to anyone who reads for hours each day. Not so much so for those that don’t.

I can’t do a thing but I certainly hope someone does. I have grandchildren and though I’m not long for this earth I do fear for their futures and the future of their children.

Hi Ed. You have brought up a very tough issue. After the train wreck, what then? Here are my thoughts. We are seeing this happen in stages. Some of us are farther along than others, i.e. lost jobs, trying to live a sustainable lifestyle, etc. These people are already experiencing the train wreck. Others are about to. The hard truth is, most of us will not make it. The further we are along the path to being able to take care of ourselves without relying on any form of corporate power structure, the better off we will be. In fact, hobos are more equipped to survive than corporate bigwigs who lose it all in Wall Street shenanigans in my opinion. Some of the hard questions are:

What do you do when –

1. you have no money?
2. you have no home?
3. communications go down?
4. you have no means of transportation?
5. you have no source of power (electricity)?
6. you have no water source?
7. you have no food source?

These things need to be thought of now. Each person needs to assess his/her own situation and come to grips with reality and decide how to handle the situation.

I believe that neighbors will need to start cooperating with each other to build localized infrastructures that will depend on barter and individual skillsets. We need to learn how to deal with growing food in a poisoned atmosphere. This is not pretty. We will have a very hard time, but fighting is better than giving up and sinking.

I talked to my neighbor the other day and she asked me the same question. I likened it to being stranded in the ocean without a boat or life jacket. You have two choices: either give up, sink and drown, or start dog paddling in the hopes of coming to dry land. I’m for dog paddling.

Thanks Barbara, While corporate war is being so clearly waged upon all humanity for the sake of depopulation of the entire food chain, including the oceans, we must first defend. Then we must counter. If we are going to counter attack corporate power, we know economic collapse will remove much of it. What then?

This is what I am seeing with my own eyes. I live in the Klamath Falls area, and the growth here is definitely stunted. Also, the decline of fish is being used as a red herring (excuse the pun) to cut off water for farming.

The government says that the reason the so-called endangered sucker fish are decreasing in population is because the farmers are using too much water. Therefore, cut off water to the farmers and send them packing. First, the sucker fish live in shallow water, high water levels kill them (Bureau of Reclamation records reportedly document high water levels corresponding with suckerfish kills in 1995, 1996, and 1997 and no kills corresponding with lower levels in 1992 and 1994. http://www.wildergarten.com/wp.....amath.html). Second, this article put another piece of the puzzle together. The entire fish population has decreased, including salmon, which they threw into the mix when people were skeptical about the sucker fish issue, and this could definitely be caused by the spraying as the article states.

The Hegelian Dialectic in action. Create the problem, then provide the solution, leading to the intended outcome.
